To make this card, I used the new Heffy Doodle Eskimo Kisses stamp set to stamp and die cut lots of the fun Eskimo images. I used my MISTI so I could stamp lots quickly at the same time, and used copic friendly ink and card so I could use my alcohol markers to colour the images. I thought it would be fun to create both a scene on the outside and on the inside, so I used some Lawn Fawn dies to help create snowy mounds and a pop up landscape for the inside of my card.

For the background, I wanted to create an Aurora Borealis effect, so I grabbed my Ranger Distress Inks, and used some bright colors first of all, then blended over the top with some chipped sapphire. I inked along the edge of a ripped piece of card to build up diagonal lines of colour on top for a more authentic look. To give my sky a lovely shimmer, I mixed a small amount of Perfect Pearls pigment powder with a little water in a spray bottle and spritzed the mixture over my inked card.

For my greeting I used one of the sentiments from the Eskimo Kisses set, but also used some of the new Heffy Doodle Jet Alphabetters to create the word HELLO. These letters are a great size for adding your own messages or names to your projects. I decided to use some silver embossing powder for my greetings to really make them pop!

For the front of my card, I stamped the fishing hole and used water ripple stamp to add lines inside, and then cut a slit using the coordinating die. This meant I could tuck a little cheeky fish inside. I gave the boy Eskimo a fishing rod, but on the inside, I created a scene using the girl Eskimo, and instead of giving her a fishing rod, I added the spearhead image to the pole to create a spear! I also added the cute baby on her back and surrounded her with lots of fish so it looks like she is having much more success than her friend!

  1. what a cute set of images from Heffy Doodle. They are so creative with their images. Love this card to.. Very creative. Love that whole scene inside the card and with the pop up. SUPER cute. SUPER fun.

  2. Yay Lesley what a cute set! So many super cute stamps in this stamp set!! Great use of the pieces to make the pole and the spear!

  3. Love the sky background you created, very pretty!! And to be able to cut the a slit in the bucket and ice to slip a fish in? Love it, so creative!!! Love the card and I love that you had the girl catching more fish than the guy!! LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!!

  4. I also find this set racially offensive. At a time when our indigenous people are fighting so hard to have their lives valued, it does not seem appropriate. The proper name for this group of indigenous people is Inuit, the other name used in the set is considered derogatory.

  5. I am quite surprised to see that you have chosen to portray a native person in your stamp set and to describe him/her as an Eskimo. In Canada one rarely sees the word Eskimo as it is considered an insult. People from the north who are native Canadians are referred to as Inuit. In addition to the use of the word Eskimo you have also chosen to portray them as living in igloos and wearing parkas. Unlike some people I do not find this set “cute”. It’s offensive. And it’s also remarkably similar to the equally offensive Hero Arts set called “Warm Hugs”which was released last year.
